I know this is short but it's meant to be, and I am almost
done with the next chapter, let me know what you think.
Prologue
"Angel!" Gunn's words ring through the hotel as he heads
toward Angel's room.
"Bloody hell!" Spike sticks his head out of
his bedroom door before Angel, "does no one in this bloody hotel
understand that we are creatures of the night, meaning we sleep during the
day?"
"What's doing on Gunn?" Angel appears looking as bleary eyed as Spike
and considering it was 6 in the morning Gunn did feel kind of bad about waking
them up.
"You'll want to come downstairs." Gunn responds before turning around
quickly and heading back downstairs where both Fred and Lorne holds a bundle.
"Where'd they come from?" Angel asks as both he and Spike pick up on
the scent of the newborns.
"We don't know." Lorne responds, "we
open the door and they were just laying there in the little basket."
Angel quickly crosses to the basket Fred pointed at and picks up the white
envelope laying inside he reads it quietly to himself sniffs the paper and then
reads aloud, "Angel, you have helped me before and I know it is a lot to
impose upon you but I had no where to turn and I can't take care of them. Will
you please take care of them for me?"
"Who's it from?" Fred asks.
Angel shrugs, "someone has gone to great lengths to keep their scent off
of it."
"Did we know anyone who was pregnant?" Wesley questions.
The group exchanges glances and everyone shrugs, "so what are we going to
do with them?" Fred questions.
"It doesn't look like we have much of a choice." Angel responds,
"someone has entrusted us to take care of their
children. We have to help them."
"What are they?" Spike questions.
"Girls by the looks of things." Lorne
responds lifting up the baby in his arms revealing a pink one-piece.
"Then we have to think of names." Fred states leaning her face down
and kissing the baby in her arms gently.
"Skylar means learned one." Fred states staring at the computer
screen in front of her.
"That's cute." Lorne agrees.
"Skylar Cordelia." Gunn suggests.
Everyone nods in agreement, "what about for this little one?" Lorne
has both babies in his arms and he gently lifts the baby in his left arm.
"Maggie Rose." Angel suggests.
"That's beautiful Angel." Fred states and everyone else agrees.
"Well Skylar Cordelia and Maggie Rose, welcome to the family, it's a
little weird but it's not lacking in love."
